Hi @Shankar Shelunke [sas06568n] , it will be useful to have more details on your situation: what you are trying to do, at what step you got the error message, what Azure service you are using (there are a lot of Azure compute services). If applicable, clarify what else you have tried and which documentation you referred to.

@Shankar Shelunke [sas06568n] Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

When exactly are you getting this error message? Can you share the screenshot of the error message?

According to the error code, we should check the location of your storage account. This error occurs when the location of the VM disk and the computing resource is different.

The storage account is created in a different region than that of Virtual machine. i.e. VM is created in WEST US but the storage account is created in EAST US.

More information about this error code, please refer to this link.

To resolve this issue, we can re-create a new storage account and the location same as Azure VM.

Check that the storage account 'xyz' exists in the same location as your compute resource. You can do this by going to the Azure portal and navigating to the storage account and compute resource.

Ensure that the storage account was created through the Storage Resource Provider. If it was created through a different method
Check that the storage account name is spelled correctly and that it is in the correct format. Storage account names must be between 3 and 24 characters in length and can only contain lowercase letters and numbers.
Ensure that the storage account is in the same subscription as your compute resource. If it is in a different subscription, you may need to grant access to the compute resource.
Check that the storage account is not in a deleted state. If it is, you may need to restore the storage account before it can be used by your compute resourc

Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
